French translation:ruches témoins

Explanation:
Absolument. C'est ce qui m'est tout de suite venu àl'esprit mais une petite vérification a fini d'asseoir ma certitude: l'IATE donne de plusieurs entrées composées dans lequelles "control" est traduit par témoin (telles que animal témoin = control animal; culture témoin = control culture; ou encore substrat témoin = control substrate). Donc vu le contexte de votre phrase où il est question de mesures statistiques, je pense que c'est ça.

9 hrs confidence:

ruches classiques

Explanation:
La traduction par "ruches témoins" est la meilleure si l'on considère la justesse. Par contre, on niveau de la sonorité, de la compréhension, du côté Français naturel qui coule de source, j'aurai écrit " les ruches contenant du XXX ont Y de plus... que des ruches classiques". Ca m'aurait paru plus naturel que "ruches témoins".
Mais je prose ça juste en alternative, "ruches témoins" est très juste.

Coffee time, vu les fautes de frappe et de grammaire... Désolée...
